Why only 32-bit installer is available for Qt 4.8.6 for Windows?

I have Windows 7 64 bit and MS Visual Studio 2008.
When I used Qt 4.8.5, I had 64-bit Qt libraries.
I want to upgrade to Qt 4.8.6, but qt-opensource-windows-x86-vs2008-4.8.6.exe (available at Downloads page) has installed 32-bit Qt libraries.
Should I build only 32-bit Windows applications with Qt 4.8.6?

[quote author="sierdzio" date="1408866956"]No, 64b is still fully supported. You need to compile Qt yourself to use it, though.[/quote]

Thank you for answer. I considered re-building libraries to get 64-bit, but I do not see what "platform" argument should I specify in the "configure" command line? The folder "mkspecs" contains only "win32-..." subfolders. No "x64-..." or "win64-...".

[quote author="sierdzio" date="1408870569"]Use win32- mkspec for your Visual Studio version (2008). Add -arch x64 to configure flags. And make sure you are using 64 bit command line from Visual Studio. All together, it should work :-)[/quote]

Thanks you. I have added -arch x64 to configure flags. It has finished OK. However, then nmake stops with fatal error " Qt has not been ported to this architecture". Any ideas?..

Hm. Maybe you don't need to specify the -arch if you are already using a 64b command line. Try again without it (you need a clean source code. Depending on how you are building, that means either extracting the .zip again, or running dist-clean, or removing your build dir).
